I love my fur. I stopped shaving a few months ago when the weather turned cool and after leaving my boy an ocean away. I've since then found that I actually like being fuzzy, it isn't just a consequence of laziness. Especially my pit hair for some reason. It's fucking adorable.
A girl friend recently caught site of my leg hair and exclaimed (I'm sure before her brain could stop her): "Oh my god, road_rash, your leg hair is out of control." I smiled. It felt like a compliment, it really did.
I think I'll be taming my pubes before rocking any swim bottoms in public, just out of personal preference. I hate shaving down there, my skin is thin and I get ingrowns like crazy. I was waxing before, but can't stand the thought of shelling out $40+ just for a few weeks of smoothness so I think I'm going to try the whole DIY sugaring thing.
Try wearing shorts out to the market or out running or something. You may be surprised how people don't notice at all. I mean, are strangers usually staring at your legs close enough to see your body hair? Then soon after you'll be showing your fur coat around your friends. They may be shocked at first, but soon they'll get used to it and probably be jealous of your who-gives-a-fuck attitude and all the money you're saving, too.
Small child: Why do you have hair under your arms?
Me: Because when girls and boys grow up into women and men they grow hair under their arms.
Small child: My mum doesn't have hair under her arms.
Me: She shaves it off.
Small child: She doesn't.
Me: She does. Ask her.
Small child: Mum, do you?
Mother of small child: Yes.
Small child: Why?
Exactly, small child. Exactly.
Fucking this.
I don't shave my legs for the primary reason that I never not wear pants. I occasionally shave my armpits if I remember to. Like, when I first got back into swimming, I shaved them. But then I didn't shave them again for like a month. Still haven't shaved them.
The only time people ever see my underarms is when I go swimming (and the hair on my legs is very light, so nobody notices, anyway). So just . . . who cares? If my underarm hair turns you off, so what? I'm here to swim, not to turn you on.
